Reality television has given us many memorable stars, and “Bachelor in Paradise” is no exception. Tanner Courtad, affectionately known as ‘Husband Material,’ became a standout figure during his time on the popular dating show. Known for his charm, wit, and genuine character, Tanner captured the hearts of both viewers and fellow contestants.

Tanner rapidly developed feelings for Kat Izzo, who ditched Brayden Bowers to go on a date with him. Their bond became stronger during their one-on-one time together, and fans are eager to learn more about the new hottie on the sand. In this article, we’ll delve into who Tanner Courtad is and everything regarding his personal and professional life!

Who Is Tanner Courtad on Bachelor in Paradise?

Tanner, according to his official ABC profile, “is 100% husband material.”

According to his LinkedIn profile, Tanner works as a mortgage lender in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He has been with Kiavi since January 2020, with the goal of “helping people achieve their financial goals through real estate.”

Tanner is also a fitness coach at Walk At Home and the Walk Run Lift Studio. He’s also in the midst of developing his own fitness app, Future Self.

Tanner’s Journey on Bachelor in Paradise

Tanner was eliminated from the Bachelorette in Week 5 alongside fellow Paradise candidate Sean McLaughlin during their two-on-one date because Charity didn’t believe their connection was where it needed to be before Hometown Dates.

According to the promo for Paradise Season 9, Episode 3, Tanner arrives at the beach and asks Kat Izzo out on a date, which goes very well, leaving Kat’s early Paradise connection with Brayden Bowers sad. We’ll have to wait until Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. on ABC (or Fridays on Hulu streaming the next day) to see what happens.

Tanner was on season 20 of The Bachelorette alongside Charity Lawson. The season was shot in the spring of 2023 and will air from June to August of that year. Tanner was eliminated one week before his hometown dates by Charity.

Tanner made it far on The Bachelorette, but he never had a one-on-one date with Charity and didn’t get much television time throughout the season. His elimination came after a two-on-one match with Sean McLaughlin. Charity stayed with both men after the 2-on-1 and invited them to a group date the next day. Tanner was eliminated in the subsequent rose ceremony.

Are Bachelor in Paradise’s Tanner and Kat Still Together?

Tanner and Kat’s relationship on Bachelor in Paradise does not work out. According to Reality Steve, Kat ends up getting engaged to John Henry Spurlock, who will arrive on the beach during episode 3 on October 19. Tanner and John Henry were on Charity’s season. It’s unclear how Kat and Tanner’s relationship develops before she meets John Henry.

The romance, however, does not last, and Rachel is said to depart the beach of her own choice at some point during the season. Tanner’s fate is unknown once she leaves.
